26th December 2004 great Sumatra-Andaman earthquake: Co-seismic and post-seismic motions in northern Sumatra
(Elsevier, 2007)Trench-parallel thrust faults verging both landward and seaward were mapped in the portion of wedge located between northern Sumatra and the Indian-Indonesian boundary The spatial aftershocks distribution of the 26th ... -
Do inverted depositional sequences and allochthonous foraminifers in sediments along the Coast of Kachchh, NW India, indicate palaeostorm and/or tsunami effects?
(Springer, 2006)The study of 134 subsurface sediment samples from three cores collected along the Coast of Kachchh, off Gujarat Province, NW India, shows the presence of 151 foraminifer species. Q-mode cluster analysis on foraminifer data ... -
GPRS based real-time reporting and internet accessible sea level gauge for monitoring storm surge and tsunami
(IEEE Singapore Section Secretariat, 2006)Development and implementation of a real-time reporting and Internet-accessible sea level gauge is described. The paper addresses the application of mobile communication technology and particularly the use of General Packet ... -
Hydrophysical manifestations of the Indian ocean tsunami
(Taylor and Francis, 2007)The horrendous destruction caused by the tsunami waves due to the earthquake in the west coast of northern Sumatra (3.307 degrees N; 95.947 degrees E) at 30 km depth with a magnitude of 9.3 on Richter scale at 00.59 UTC ... -
Impact of coastal morphology, structure and seismicity on the tsunami surge
(Taylor and Francis, 2007)The twin events of the earthquake and tsunami not only stress the importance of an integrated warning system for the Indian Ocean rim countries but also the need for new disaster management plans to mitigate such hazards. ... -
Neotectonism - An offshore evidence from eastern continental shelf off Visakhapatnam
(Current Science Association, Bangalore, India, 1999)A minor tremor measuring 4.5 on the Richter scale occurred around 4.58 p.m. on 18 December 1995, with its epicentre located in the Bay of Bengal, nearly 30 km east of Vizianagaram on the Andhra Pradesh coast. The location ... -
Protective role of coastal ecosystems in the context of the tsunami in Tamil Nadu coast, India: Implications for hazard preparedness
(Taylor and Francis, 2007)To assess the damage caused by the Indian Ocean Tsunami of 26 December 2004, post-tsunami field surveys were undertaken during January and April, 2005 from Chennai to Velankanni along the Tamil Nadu coast. Beach profiles ... -
The 2005 volcano-tectonic earthquake swarm in the Andaman Sea: Triggered by the 2004 great Sumatra-Andaman earthquake
(American Geophysical Union, 2012)A 6 day duration earthquakes swarm occurred in the Andaman Sea, 31 days after the giant 2004 Sumatra-Andaman earthquake (Mw 9.2). The swarm occurred less than 100 km from the eastern edge of the 2004 earthquake rupture and ... -
Tsunami impacts on morphology of beaches along south Kerala coast, west coast of India
(Tsunami Society, 2006)The present study is based on the post tsunami survey conducted in January 2005 along the southwest coast of India. Although tsunami affected the whole coastline of Kerala, it devastated the low-lying coastal areas of ... -
Tsunamis and marine life
(Taylor and Francis, 2007)The 26 December 2004 tsunami in the Indian Ocean exerted far reaching temporal and spatial impacts on marine biota. Our synthesis was based on satellite data acquired by the Laboratory for Tropical Marine Environmental ...
